The Red Mansions

Chapter 561 Emperor Chongping: The crime is unforgivable, the three tribes of barbarians!

Chapter 561 Emperor Chongping: The Heinous Sins... Excluding Jujue, Barbarians!

In the Korean government office, in the study room, the lights are as bright as day.

Jia Heng and Feng Lian entered a study room, Feng Xian, Feng Lian's son, left the study room after saying a few words, and the two began to drink tea and talk.

Let's exchange greetings.

Feng Lian put down the teacup, looked at the boy in the python suit opposite, and said, "I've heard about Ziyu's daytime affairs."

Jia Heng put down the teacup, looked calmly at the middle-aged gentry who was wearing an overcoat, and waited for his words.

The Feng Lian in front of me was born in Juren, and he had worked as a magistrate of Xin'an County, a county magistrate, and a magistrate of Henan Prefecture. As Mrs. Han's wife got older and did not do much in her official career, she simply resigned from the office and devoted herself to it. Serving mother at home.

"Now that the country is facing a crisis, the Wei and Zheng vassals don't know the general situation, and they still owe the court food and fodder, what is the overall situation?" Feng Lian said.

Jia Heng nodded, and said: "The two feudal clans have owed millions of shi in taxes and food over the years, but this time leading the army to quell the chaos, and to appease the people, there is a huge gap in rice and food."

This Feng Lian's "communication with shallow words and deep words" probably has other deep meanings.

Feng Lian asked: "There are hundreds of thousands of bandits gathered in the Kaifeng Mansion, how much will Ziyu lead the troops this time? But do you still need to dispatch the soldiers from the Henan Mansion?"

"Leading [-] infantry and cavalry this time is not enough to completely quell the chaos in Henan." Jia Heng said in a deep voice without hiding anything.

"Ziyu is mature enough to plan for the country and consider everything carefully." Feng Lian nodded, and said: "Nowadays there are 10 rebels in Runing, Kaifeng and other places, and there are too few soldiers and horses to worry about being stretched. The momentum can wipe out the thieves and bandits."

He thought there was only this group of cavalry pawns, but now it seems that they are just reinforcements, with most of the cavalry pawns behind.

"I thought about it before, if Ziyu is short of food and fodder, please say something. Although there is not much food and fodder in the family, there is still some 20 million shi to make up for the national crisis. It is enough to call on the honorable gentry to donate some." Feng Lian said with a smile.

Among the dozen or so rice merchants in Luoyang, there is the Feng family.

Jia Heng said: "Now there is no shortage of food and rice for the military, but they came in a hurry. The army is still short of meat, vegetables, and medicine. I also ask Feng Gong to organize Luoyang gentry to buy some. Of course, Feng Gong will not be busy for nothing. The imperial court is willing to buy at normal market prices. .”

What the army fights is logistics, and now rice and grain have been replenished, but other supplies are also indispensable.

Jia Heng said, and added: "In addition, please recruit some military doctors. I intend to pilot a military medical office in the army to treat wounded soldiers."

In fact, the imperial physicians of the imperial hospital often went out with the army to make contributions and benevolent to their descendants, but they did not form a custom.

Feng Lian said with a smile: "It's not difficult. In the past few days, I have summoned some retired officials and gentry in Luoyang to handle this matter."

Jia Heng looked at Feng Lian who was befriending him, and couldn't help but feel a wave of doubts in his heart.

After thinking about it for a while, I understood what the Feng family was thinking. This was showing their favor to him.

The Feng family relies on the Empress Dowager Feng who was honored and raised in Changle Palace, but the Empress Dowager Feng has already passed away in a few years, so what will the Feng family do? The support of civil servants who are in charge of the central government is obviously not enough to keep the lintel from falling, so it is urgent to take care of the nobles in charge of the country.

And whether he is because of Princess Xianning or his current momentum, it is not surprising that the Feng family invested and bet in advance.

Thinking of this, Jia Heng couldn't help recalling the materials about Luoyang nobles sent by Luoyang Qianhu earlier.

Luoyang nobles, first of all, are relatives like the Feng family.

The second is the descendants of the two vassals of Zheng and Wei, such as the county king, general Zhenguo, general Fuguo, and general Fengguo.

The third is the four princes and one uncle who made great contributions in the Taizong and Longzhi dynasties.

The Taizong and Longzhi dynasties accumulatively conferred fourteen marquises and five uncles, but due to the political turmoil in the Taizong, Longzhi, and Chongping dynasties and the defeat of Liaodong, only five marquises and two uncles remain.

They are the Marquis of Annan, Marquis of Yangwu, Marquis of Dingyuan, Marquis of Pingliang, Marquis of Yingchuan, Bo Jianchang and Bo Yuzhang.

Except for Annanhou and Yuzhangbo who were still leading the army in the southern provinces, most of the descendants of the other four princes and one uncle did not hold military power, but settled in the big city of Luoyang, and even began to transform into civil servants.

In fact, in addition to losing his title due to crimes, the nobles of the Han Dynasty have experienced three losses in total.

The first time was the defeat of Emperor Longzhi in Liaodong. Several leaders and nobles together with their descendants died directly in Liaodong, and the whole country mourned.

The second time was when Emperor Longzhi, when the prince was deposed due to defeat in a war, organized and planned a large-scale purge of Wu Xun who surrounded the deposed prince.

The third time was before and after Emperor Chongping's accession to the throne, in order to stabilize the imperial power.

Several damages also affected to a certain extent the founding honors such as the four kings, eight princes and twelve princes, and swept to the level of twelve princes and eight princes, but the whole did not hurt the roots of the founding honors, four kings, eight princes and twelve princes Son.

The purging and marginalization of Taizong and Longzhi also objectively caused the founding honors to be unchecked and unbalanced, completely controlling the five armies.

While the two were talking, Feng Xian, the son of Feng Lian, entered the hall, cupped his hands and said, "Father, the ancestor called Father and Ziyu to go over."

Feng Lian smiled and said, "Let's go, I guess Ziyu is hungry too."

In fact, some want to ask what is the relationship between this young man and Xianning?Why did Xianning join the army, but thinking about the first acquaintance, it is okay to talk about official affairs, but it is not appropriate to ask about private affairs.

Jia Heng and Feng Lianzhong came to the "Fuxing Hall" again. At this moment, there are only some Korean concubines, the eldest daughter-in-law Xu and a few young wives. The girls are seated behind a landscape screen. Madam sat down.

"Here we come." Mrs. Han Tai smiled.

Jia Heng called Mrs. Tai, and then exchanged glances with the tall and bright girl.

"Sit." Mrs. Han Tai greeted.

Jia Heng thanked her, then sat on the embroidered pier, her eyes fell on Mrs. Han Tai's face to show her respect.

Don't look at the young daughter-in-law sitting aside at this time, but his eyes must not wander randomly.

Mrs. Han Tai sighed: "Just now, Zhi'er told me about the incident in Beijing. The emperor was in a hurry to get angry because of the incident in Henan. Alas... you said that this incident caused trouble. After the Taizong Dynasty, it was not like this. No wonder the emperor is worried about this matter."

It was too ominous to faint because of vomiting blood, so Mrs. Han Tai kept silent.

Jia Heng also sighed, and said: "This time is indeed different, it is still at the Concubine Conferment Ceremony of King Wei, no matter what, the chaos should be settled as soon as possible."

"Yes, the chaos must be quelled as soon as possible, and people's hearts should be more stable." Mrs. Han Tai nodded, looked at the young and excessive boy opposite, and said with emotion: "You are a capable person. The war in Kaifeng Mansion, if you want to come If you are successful, I will not talk about other things, our family lives in Luoyang, we are not only relatives of the state, but also the people of the big man, if there is any need for help, Zi Yuni should not be a layman."

Jia Heng said softly: "Mr. Feng also mentioned to this junior earlier that he has asked Mr. Feng to purchase some military supplies."

In fact, it was impossible for him to accept the Feng family's free donation. Without him, Emperor Chongping couldn't afford to lose that person, and the emperor was rich all over the world, so it was not proper to go to his uncle's house in the autumn wind.

The Feng family knew this from beginning to end, and they didn't worry too much, but they were able to help, and they were much better than most nobles, and what they said was very emotional.

Feng Lian said solemnly: "Mother, don't worry, I'm busy with this matter these days."

Mrs. Han Tai nodded, and said: "You have to be more careful. The emperor's previous incident, I don't know how uncomfortable the Queen Mother is. When the matter here is settled, I will go to visit her again. It is."

Feng Lian nodded yes.

Looking at this scene, Jia Heng's eyes flickered, thoughtful.

The younger brother of Empress Dowager Feng died, so the bond that maintained the family relationship of Empress Dowager Feng was actually broken, so it is easy to understand that Mrs. Tai of South Korea often visits the house, and it is easy for relatives to fade away if they do not move around.

Looking at the young man on the opposite side, Mrs. Han Guotai said worriedly: "I think about it, Xianning, she comes here this time, and she lives with me in Luoyang City, so it's not easy to go to the front line, but she told me, she's four My uncle is in Kaifeng, so I need to join the army to look for it, what's going on?"

Jia Heng said: "The guards of the Jinyi Mansion have already gone to look for it, but there is no news yet, but there should be no hindrance. I sent a careful person to handle the matter."

"That's good, that's good. Her four uncles are auspicious, so they should be all right." Mrs. Han Tai murmured, then looked at the young man opposite, and said, "It's hard for you to go ahead of schedule." Be prepared."

Previously, Princess Xianning had already told what Jia Heng had expected in advance, and Mrs. Han Tai knew the whole story.

At this time, Mrs. Xu said with a smile: "Old lady, the food is ready now, let's take a seat."

"Okay, Ziyu, let's eat." Mrs. Han Tai greeted her.

The first time they met in the house, they were all polite greetings.

Several people ate their meals, and when it was Xu time, they sat together and talked for a while.

Jia Heng glanced at the sky and said: "It's getting late, Mrs. Tai, His Highness Xianning will stay here for one night, and I'll send someone to pick him up tomorrow."

He didn't talk much just now, he just watched Princess Xianning, who was talking between Jia Heng and Mrs. Han Tai. Hearing this, he quickly said: "Sir, isn't the army going to march tomorrow?"

If she stayed here, if Mr. Tomorrow led the army away, she would not be able to find him.

Jia Heng also guessed some of Princess Xianning's thoughts, and said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, Xia Houying will stay here to protect His Highness, and I will come over early tomorrow morning, so we can set off together."

Mainly Mrs. South Korea is in Luoyang, and Princess Xianning can't justify staying for one night in terms of etiquette.

Princess Xianning thought for a while and said, "That's also good."

Madam Han Han smiled and said: "Ziyu, you said that Zhi'er is a girl from a family who likes martial arts, and Xianning has to take good care of her when she goes to the front of the two armies."

Jia Heng nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mrs. Tai, I will."

When Jia Heng was a guest at Mrs. Han’s house in Luoyang——

Shenjing City, Palace Garden, Kunning Palace

It is already twilight, and it is approaching the right time.

Inside the majestic and majestic palace, the lights are bright and bright as day, and the court ladies and eunuchs stand beside the beams and curtains, holding their breath, waiting for orders.

Dressed in pale yellow court gown and empress dowager Song, the empress of Song came stepping forward. The bright eyes under her black eyebrows looked at Emperor Chongping who was flipping through the Three Kingdoms script, and said with concern: "Your Majesty, it's time for dinner."

Emperor Chongping put down the Three Kingdoms script in his hand, with a complicated look on his slightly thin face, he sighed again: "If I had known the present, why bother at the beginning."

This is the seventh time that the emperor said such words in two days. Afterwards, the more the emperor thought about it, the more he regretted it. If he had supported Jia Heng against all opinions, Kaifeng would not have been broken.

Empress Song sat down and said with relief: "Your Majesty, at the beginning, both the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty said that Zi Yu was untrustworthy, and the Holy Majesty was inevitably suspicious, but no one thought about it... Besides, even Zi Yu said earlier that he was just deducing the situation in Henan, Your Majesty. Don't be too upset."

Emperor Chongping's expression softened a little, and he said: "Now it seems that military and state privy secretaries are not for idlers to plan."

After this incident, he didn't want it to happen again. The Military Aircraft Department had to clean it up first. Some messy people were stuffed in, and the noisy voice covered up the correct voice.

There is also the cabinet, the government affairs are fine, but when it comes to military matters, after Li Zan went to the north, most of them are civil servants who have no military knowledge.

At this moment, just as Jia Heng said, the emperor has begun to reflect on himself. It is not that he, the emperor, is ignorant and unwise when he sees people and things, it must be a system problem!

This is a normal human psychology, and as time goes by, that part of the mistakes about oneself will become more and more diluted, until it is all those civil and military officials who deceived Sheng Cong.

Emperor Chongping suddenly asked: "Mr. Xu from Zhen Guo Gong's family went to the Empress Dowager?"

Empress Song said cautiously: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Zhen Guotai led her daughter-in-law, Chu, to kneel down to plead guilty to the Queen Mother because of Niu Jizong's affairs. on."

The emperor vomited blood and fainted because of the falsification of the victory report, and Niu Jizong's request for meritorious service must of course bear a great deal of responsibility. Mrs. Xu, the wife of Zhen Guogong, and Chu, the wife of Niu Jizong, were almost frightened. First, they knelt outside the palace gate yesterday and got up , was later persuaded by the palace people of Changle Palace to leave, and returned home crying, and then came to kneel again this afternoon to plead guilty.

Emperor Chongping looked indifferent, and said: "Henan's military report is falsified, and Niu Jizong still has to make a memorial to show his merits. From my point of view, Niu Jizong has probably defected and turned to the bandits.

"The servant is here." Dai Quan came from not far away at this time, his forehead was still wrapped in white gauze, his head was lowered tightly, and his face was dark and gloomy.

Although the emperor didn't blame him, he was the one who delivered the hateful "good news" to the emperor after all, and now all the palace people looked at him strangely.

When did his father-in-law fall into such a fall!

"Send the inner guards to imprison the Duke of Zhenguo, and wait for the Henan incident to be verified. If there are really evil deeds such as disregarding the country's grace, adhering to the rebels, and deceiving the king, they should be severely punished by law!" Emperor Chongping said indifferently.

Since he fainted, under the persuasion of Empress Song and Empress Dowager Feng, Emperor Chongping has been recuperating his body, and he has not had time to deal with the court affairs in the future. This time, he suddenly remembered Niu Jizong, so he naturally dealt with it first, so as not to cry and ask for that intercession again. Seek this plea.

The so-called strict punishment with the law will inevitably eliminate the Jueyi clan, and may become the first noble class of the founding four kings and eight princes to be slaughtered.

Dai Quan resisted the urge to grit his back molars, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, just now, the inner guard came to report to the police department. The inner guard compared the handwriting and arrested and interrogated the two thieves who came to deliver the report to the army. The commander of Henan Province, Guo Peng, did not want to join the bandits and committed suicide, while Niu Jizong, the bull of Zhenguo, and Qian Yushan, the prefect of Runing Prefecture, rebelled against the bandits, and it was with the assistance of Niu Jizong and Qian Yushan that the Runing Prefecture was attacked and destroyed."

Previously, the two messengers sent by Gao Yue were captured by the Jinyi Mansion in the brothel. After a series of torture and torture, they have revealed all the details of the bandits.

Emperor Chongping was stunned when he heard the words, his face darkened, and he said: "I knew it! If they hadn't been attached to the bandits, how could the bandits sweep Henan so easily, causing the situation to become corrupt and out of control! "

At this moment, the emperor seemed to subconsciously use the word "just" to make up for the mistakes and omissions in the subconscious that he had not seen before.

There is another sentence, if it weren't for Niu Jizong and Guo Peng's seal, he...would not have been deceived by it, made a fool of himself, and become a laughing stock.

Empress Song quickly persuaded, "Your Majesty calm down."

Emperor Chongping's face was livid, and he said in a cold voice: "Dai Quan, pass on the decree, the first-class uncle Niu Jizong disregarded the state's grace, betrayed a thief, and deceived the emperor. The crime is heinous, and he wants to expel the town's government and the barbarians! "

Until now, the "grievance, anger, shame" that had been suppressed in Emperor Chongping's heart and the "fear" that he would vomit blood and lose his life, at this moment, got the object of pouring out and smashed down with an iron fist.

Because looking around, all the officials couldn't catch the punch that wiped out Dao, and Emperor Chongping also used the sentence "All parties are guilty, and I am guilty" to cover up the stupidity from top to bottom.

Of course, whoever dares to say that he has sinned against his edict is just getting bored and crooked.

"Your Majesty, the Yi tribe, this... I'm afraid it will damage the sanctity." Empress Song's snowy face changed slightly, and said in a low voice.

Generally speaking, crimes against honorable nobles are exiled and ransacked, and Shengen even returned a batch of houses afterwards.

The Yi clan seems to have killed too much, which hurts benevolence and harmony, but in fact, the ten heinous crimes, the three conspiracy is the most important, but the Yi clan, even if it is eight discussions, it will not be discussed.

For example, the "Law of the Han Dynasty" stipulates: "Those who commit treason, treason, and treason will all be put to death immediately. The same difference in the restriction of nationality, over ten years old, regardless of serious illness or disabled illness, will be cut off, and female relatives and sons under ten years old will serve as official servants."

In the law of the Han Dynasty, if there is no specific reference, the three tribes of Yi are the father's family, the own family, and the son's family.

Emperor Chongping said in a deep voice: "Using virtue instead of prestige, there are those who are bold and reckless, deceiving the king and neglecting the superior, and if they are not severely punished, there are those who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and stoop to serve as thieves. What should I do?"

You can win battles, but you can't help bandits bully the king?Suffering from the country's grace, how can you bear to cheat your father with the bandits?

Why do you have half of your father in your heart?

Father Jun is vomiting blood from your anger, do you know that?

When Empress Song heard the words, Yu Rong paused, pursed her pink lips, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty's words are true."

It's not easy for her to persuade her about matters in the court, but His Majesty has not been so angry for several years.

How not to be angry?This is the anger of an emperor after being fooled and deceived.

The more powerful the lord, the more so. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard that Li Ling had betrayed, he directly killed the whole family.

If it was just a betrayal, Emperor Chongping might not have punished him too much, but he had an oolong before, and these two days, every night in the dead of night, as long as he remembered that he happily shared the military report with his officials, he couldn't think about it!

"Go quickly!"

Dai Quan's voice was also a bit cold, and he said: "Your maid obeys the order."

He obviously hated Zhen Guogong's family very much, and the scar on his head was still aching.

Seeing Emperor Chongping's gloomy face, Empress Song was silent for a moment, and with concern on her beautiful face, she persuaded: "Before Ziyu left, didn't you say repeatedly that Your Majesty still puts the dragon's body first, don't be too overwhelmed by these things. angry."

At this moment, I can only persuade the emperor with Jia Ziyu's words.

Emperor Chongping waved his hand and said, "Zitong, I know what's on my mind."

But it is said that the government of the town is in the flower hall

Niu Jizong's mother Xu Shi is sitting in the flower hall, surrounded by Niu Jizong's six-bedroom young concubine Zhucui, accompanied by Niu Jizong's son Niu Cunde and his wife Yang Shi.

After a few days of tossing, Niu Jizong's mother, Xu's old face under the gray hair was full of worry, and she no longer had the vitriolic demeanor of Liu Fang's mother, Sun's, and Nan'an Princess, who sang oboe, and just sighed blindly.

Mrs. Chu persuaded, "Old lady, it's getting dark, it's time for dinner."

Niu Youde, Niu Jizong's son, is 23 or [-] years old. He is tall and tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a slightly fat face. He is a bit old-fashioned. He said: "The old lady's bones are important, let's eat some."

"Well, how can I eat it? I don't know how Jizong is doing in Henan. There is no news from Henan. I don't know what Jinyi Mansion is doing. If the news of defeat came earlier, it would not be too late." As for the current ups and downs, the queen mother in the palace does not see us." Xu sighed and said, feeling more and more resentful.

Chu frowned and said: "Old lady, didn't the Jia family go to Henan? I don't know if I can see the master. Should I go to Jia's house tomorrow to ask?"

"Don't mention that kid and the Jia family! Just mentioning it will make you angry!" Xu said resentfully, "It's all the fault of that kid from the Jia family! It wasn't he who took away Jizong's Guoyong Camp back then, and Jizong took the fruit with him. Yongying went to Henan, and it would not be like this. If it is said that he is in charge of the Jinyi Mansion, if he could have reported his defeat earlier, he would not have reported a false victory in the ceremony of Wei Wang's Concubine Concubine. His trip, I think it is likely To die in battle outside! Then the Jia family was defeated, and her daughter-in-law and those girls from the Jia family were all sent to the Jiaofang Division to be ruined!"

Niu Jizong's sixth concubine, listening to Xu's cursing, also echoed.

At this moment, there was a breeze blowing from the Xuan window, the lights danced and swayed, and it fell on the faces of the concubines and concubines, who were dressed in gorgeous clothes and piled up in emerald buns. Because of the expressions of resentment and resentment, their faces were terrifying.

Mrs. Xu scolded a few words, looked at Mrs. Chu, and hurriedly asked, "What about Duke Li, Duke Shan, Duke Zhi, and the concubine?"

The Chu family sighed, and said: "The other families said that there is no way out, but the Nan'an mansion, the concubine said that the queen mother and the sage have been angry for the past two days, wait a few days, the limelight has passed, and then go to the house. Our family begs for mercy."

During these two days, the Niu family has almost become the stinking shit of the honorable group. Although they did not intend to stay away, they prevaricate and perfunctory the visits of the Xu family and the Chu family, persuading them to wait patiently for the disposal of the palace.

"Well, I'm afraid that the palace will turn our anger on us. We have to find a way." Xu said with a worried face, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Where is Princess Beijing? , and the Zhen family is also a relative of the state, if we can go to the palace to say hello, we can also overcome this difficulty."

Nan'an and Beijing can be said to be the flags of the four kings and eight princes. Since the concubine of Nan'an has agreed (perfunctory), then Princess Zhenxue of Beijing naturally falls into Xu's eyes.

The Chu family sighed: "Prince Beijing said she was not feeling well, and thanked guests behind closed doors. I thought most likely she didn't want to see her. The old concubine collapsed in the nunnery in the backyard and prayed for blessings, and didn't pay much attention to the affairs of the mansion."

Xu: "..."

His face was green and red, and he cursed: "Jizong was so busy with the matter of entering the former military governor's mansion for Shui Rong, but now her family has become ungrateful, and she is not feeling well, so she closed the door! Years, the stomach is not up to date, and there is no child with a handle, this is all retribution! What is the use of the old concubine praying for blessings? When people come to attack Jue, there is no way to cry and wipe away tears at that time."

Facing Mrs. Xu's vicious cursing, Mrs. Chu was not in the mood at the moment, sighed, and said: "Old lady, it's useless to say these things now, you still have to think of a way."

Mrs. Xu was tired of cursing while talking, and sighed: "De'er, your father suffered a defeat, even if it was a disaster, but this ancestor's title must be preserved."

When Niu Youde heard this, his face changed, and he said: "Don't worry, grandma, the ancestor's title will definitely be preserved!"

At this moment, a nanny hurriedly entered the hall, her expression extremely flustered.

Mammy said tremblingly: "Old lady, it's not good, there are people from the palace, and many people outside, with knives and guns, surrounded the mansion."

Xu's and Chu's expressions changed drastically, and they were about to ask the nanny.

All of a sudden, there was a burst of shouting from the front yard, and then factory guards and fans with torches rushed in along the corridors on both sides.

"The front hall and the backyard are all fenced off, no one is allowed to let go!" A sharp voice sounded in the low night, like a crow hoarse and screaming, it was clearly the consular eunuch of the Internal Police Department.

While talking, I saw a large number of inner guards with black and red satin, holding sabers, coming to the brightly lit hall.

Xu looked at the dark inner guards and Fanzi in horror, and said, "You guys, what are you going to do?"

Niu Youde, the son of Niu Jizong, also looked at the other sons with a look of horror, with a faint feeling of something bad in his heart.

Most of the other concubines and female family members hid behind the screen, their faces paled, when have they seen such a battle?

The chief internal eunuch held up the imperial decree, with a soft face, unfolding the imperial decree, and said sinisterly: "... the grandson of Duke Zhen, the first-class Uncle Niu Jizong is a military honor of the country. Jue, the Yi tribe!"

When Xu heard the words, he felt five thunders on his head, the corners of his mouth trembled, his legs went limp at once, and he collapsed on the spot, his face as ashen ashes.

Yi tribe?

The Niu family is over!

"Take it down, take it all down!" Glancing at the crying Niu family members, the inner eunuch put away the edict and said in a cold voice.

Not long after, the factory guards stepped forward and pushed Niu Youde, the son of Niu Jizong, to the ground. Several concubines were also held down by the inner guards mercilessly, and the heirs of the concubines were also pushed down. The Niu family manor was searched and arrested. All the male members of the Niu family were taken away by the internal guards, loaded into prison cars, and escorted to the factory prison of the internal police. Losing all dignity, she was pushed into the carriage and sent to the female prison. Afterwards, she was sold to Jiaofang Secretary, and all the treasures of the treasury were seized.

For a while, the Niu family was in a mess, crying loudly.

And the news that all the people in Zhen Guogong's mansion were arrested by the inner guards was like a hurricane blowing in Shenjing City, breaking the strange calm of Shenjing City due to the fainting of the emperor for the past two days.

Originally, after Emperor Chongping fainted, the rain was about to come, and the thunder never fell, but now the first thunder finally fell, and the nobles in Shenjing City were silent like cicadas.
